Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Note that the course inventory data are from 2011. Once the definition of sustainability in academics (Credit ER-5 Pt. 1) has been officially adopted via the CAP approval process, the inventory will be updated. These results are based on a faculty survey developed and administered by Dr. Anna Marshall-Baker. Course descriptions, student learning outcomes, and sustainability content (by percentage) were all requested. The results were reviewed and collated by two faculty members and the sustainability coordinator. These data were supplemented with an inventory of the class descriptions in the course catalog.
